About CCRA

We are a diverse family of complementary divisions, created to facilitate commerce between travel professionals, their clients, and industry suppliers. We provide innovative air commission programs, after-hours traveler assistance solutions, and extensive hotel programs. All of these tools are designed to produce additional revenues and client benefits for your GDS agency. CCRA is a multi-faceted organization, free of conflicts - since we are not owned by other TMCs or travel consortia. We like to think we capture the best of everything for our agency customers!

Our Value

We like to think we do a pretty good job putting great products, great suppliers and the best agents together so they can thrive. We stay out of the transactions and just stick to the introductions!

Our Brands

It all began with our 24/7 Call Center Services for stranded corporate travelers, then our rate codes and our hotel portal for travel professionals everywhere.

Our Name

25 years ago, CCRA originally stood for Computerized Corporate Rate Association, but like most travel industry organizations, we've easily outgrown that acronym and evolved into something far greater.

Our People

Built by travel professionals from all corners of the industry, we're dedicated, passionate and completely committed to our travel agency and suppliers' successes.

Our Culture

Whether you do business with us now, are thinking about joining or partnering with us, or you just want to know what it's like to work for us, here's a little more about who we are:

We Love What We Do

We’ve built our company on the expertise, passion and perspective that comes from our employees. We all share a great love of travel and customer service, and we believe this shines through in our attitudes and our approach.

We Build for the Future

We always have our eye on what’s ahead. And that means being able to meet customer needs and expectations quickly, and with a level of responsiveness that demonstrates we’re ahead of the market.

We Celebrate Our Failures

No one gets it right every time – so when we stumble, we learn, we adjust and we improve. Every result is an opportunity, and we believe it makes us stronger and smarter as we take on our next challenges.

We Are a Diverse Family

But we’re not just a diverse family of brands – we’re a diverse family of professionals from all corners of the travel industry. We treat each other with respect and value each other’s ideas. That gives us the power of perspective.

We Build Our Brand On Your Trust

There is nothing more important to us than the trust of our customers. Whether we’re servicing your most important asset (your travelers) or protecting your data, we know that we can only grow our brand by protecting yours.

We Don't Make Promises

We make progress. We develop solutions. We believe that words are meaningless without action. So we’ll always come to the table with results – not excuses or promises. We expect to build and keep your trust so we’ll never need them.

Improve booking profitability and your clients’ satisfaction.
